I've been using a Palm Vx over a year now to read books. Here are some of the advantages and disadvantages.

CONS:
NOTES:
PROS:
- You can get an used one on eBay for $30-$50.
- I get over 8 hours of constant use before I have to recharge its internal batteries. It has 8 MB which is enough for 10 typical novels.
- It has a backlight.
- I find that there's more programs available for the Palm OS than the PocketPC OS. (I have a battery-sucking HP Jornada as well.)
CONS:
- The resolution is only 160x160 but I find that this is fine for reading.
- It is only 2-bit black-and-white.
